Updated to 2.2.8.0

I've updated the game to be compatible with RAGS 2.2.8.0, since some people were reporting problems with 2.2.7.0. The download link won't look like it's changed, but it has.

In other news, my schedule tomorrow is all screwed up due to the holiday, so I'll actually be streaming in the evening/night. I will post an update when I get more information (I'm flying by the seat of my pants), and I'll probably work on the game a bit during the day, but yeah. So you know.

And in case you're wondering, I came up with a full page of ways that transformation will work, so I have a solid framework for them, which is what I'll be implementing this week. Along with some pregnancy effects. FYI, to those that were curious, you CAN get pregnant in the game, it just doesn't DO much of anything; people don't comment on it, and once you get to 17 weeks, you're effectively screwed as you can't wear 99% of your clothes.

100% technical skill, and disabling the camera still sets off the alarm in the lab, which was a little unexpected.

I'd also imagined that technical skill would help with the lockpicks. I know the description says that you need dexterity, but it's not really clear how to get that attribute ... unless lockpicking is determined by dancing skill.

Can you try more than once? The message as you head home suggests that you only get one crack at the lab, although I notice it remains on the "somewhere special" sub-menu.

Speaking of submenus, any chance of setting one up for the computer options?

This has been bugging me since you removed the scene/picture pane: Is there any way to move the inventory up into the space it used to occupy and move the portrait/compass right? I'm a graphics designer and using that much horizontal space for text reading is a cardinal sin, and frankly hurts my eyes.

If you can't shift around the inventory/compass/portrait elements I'll just make do with the workarounds I currently use, but I thought you should be made aware of the problem.

Whenever I load a saved game I get strange errors. It plays fine from a new game, but if I save it I get all kinds of errors. The game is too long to try to take on in one sitting. How do I get saves to work?

I find that if I d/l with firefox, it wants to open the file directly with RAGS and then the file is unreadable. But if I make sure it's saved to disk and then open it from the explorer, it works just fine.

No idea why, but it happens every time. Making sure I save to disc is workaround enough.

@fling: yeah, I realised it mut be the guitar about 10 mins after I posted...

Got into the lab no problem, disabled guard, went back into the room with boxes and got the hide popup even though the guard should be disabled, managed to evade the guard though but couldn't figure a way out again or find the item for Maria.

@fling:It's not exactly about that. He doesn't even bother to talk to me (so basically im failing to START a conversation with him). The game hints me that I should improve my looks, so far I tryed improving charisma but that didn't work, tryed a bunch of diferent dresses but neither of them worked.
